Wandering free

Makers of a film about the heroic exploits of Bolton Wanderers FC during the second world war have asked the team's present-day fans to complete the financing for the movie. The film, called Wartime Wanderers, will honour the club's first team, who, in 1939, following a rousing speech by captain Harry Goslin in front of a 23,000 crowd waiting for a match at Burnden Park, marched off the pitch to join the army. Starring Rupert Grint and Jonathan Pryce (as Charles Foweraker, the manager), the film will begin shooting this autumn. The financing offer means fans who contribute will appear as extras in crowd scenes, attend the premiere and, presumably, get a cup of Bovril and a pie. See wartimewanderers.co.uk

Rub a dub

Trash was shocked by a geographical liberty taken by the makers of X-Men: First Class. James McAvoy's character, Charles Xavier, is filmed downing a yard of ale in an Oxford pub. When he exits, we see the pub is called the Eagle and as the shot widens, we see that it's right under the Oxford landmark known affectionately as the Bridge of Sighs, in fact part of Hertford College. However, any Oxford student will know that there has never been a drinking establishment in this location. Perhaps it was a mutant pub and the X-People were confusing it with the Eagle and Child on St Giles', which is owned by St John's College and is famed as the drinking place of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien.

Get karter

Near the end of director Asif Kapadia's wistful Senna documentary, the Brazilian motor-racing champion is being interviewed and asked to name the opponent he most admired. To the surprise of the world's press, Senna harks back to his go-kart racing days of the 1970s ("pure racing, no politics, no money," he says) and the rivalry he enjoyed with a British racer called Terry Fullerton. The inclusion of this rare but resonant clip in the new documentary has shone a spotlight back on the obscure career of Terry Fullerton, who retired from kart racing in 1984. Fullerton, 58, who retired from kart-racing in 1984. Fullerton was at the film's starry premiere in London last week, to watch the previously unseen footage of Senna singing his praises. Also in attendance were Hugh Grant, Simon Pegg, Bernie and Tamara Ecclestone, and Formula One commentating legend Murray Walker. I hear Fullerton, the world karting champion in 1973, has now been invited by Jeremy Clarkson to drive on Top Gear.
